Pinhead Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 Just wait for the Countryfile forecast Sunday. The BBC know that peeps (and oftwn farmers) use this as a guide for the festival week and are invested in making an effort for accuracy given their involvement with the festival. It is basically the successor of the Farming Weekly forecast they used to do many years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a myth that Countryfile gives the weather for the festival. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinhead Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 5 days is better than just tomorrow and maybe the day after. In some cases however in past years they have been drawn to making a specific side predition for the festival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
downtherabbithole Posted June 16, 2022 Report Share Posted June 16, 2022 BBC currently has 17 degree highs and 10 degree lows over the festival. Doesn't look too bad rain wise but can't have been many cooler festivals than that? It is late June after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've got another 16 runs to go! 🤣 (You can also watch the Countryfile week ahead forecast on Sunday morning on the BBC website) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The closer the forecast the better the accuracy surely. Tho I concede naturally that anytimg over 24-48 hours is a challenge for any forecaster in terms of accuracy.

Viva La high pressure etc. Same! Grudgingly stuck the fuckers in a black bag and they’re going in the back of the car. Hopefully not to be seen until I unpack a week later!
